Embark on a journey of discovery and luxury with a seven-night adventure for two in Belmond Hotels, nestled in the heart of Cusco, the mystical Machu Picchu, and the vibrant city of Lima. This exclusive package invites you to traverse the ancient landscapes of Peru while indulging in world-class accommodations.
Begin your journey in Lima’s Miraflores Park. Set in a verdant garden, Miraflores is a true urban sanctuary beside the city’s cultural gems. Come evening, ascend to the rooftop pool for a sunset dip. The ocean views will take your breath away. Colonial architecture, superb museums with Inca gold and Pre-Columbian antiquities, and glamorous shops, bars, and restaurants are all just moments from the hotel.
Fly the next day to Cusco and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Incan and Spanish heritage, before boarding the iconic Hiram Bingham train. Revel in the elegance of this storied train as it winds through the Andean Mountains on the way to Machu Picchu, where the hidden citadel’s secrets await. Following a guided tour of the citadel, relax over teatime at your home for the next three nights, the Sanctuary Lodge. The only hotel adjacent to Machu Picchu, the Sanctuary Lodge will allow you to be one of the first to see sun-dappled Huayna Picchu each morning.
